Bondage makes me feel like i have submitted completely to my One. Allowing Her to tie me up leaves me completely helpless and gives me more strength as i am allowing my One to do anything She wishes to me.

i have a need to be tied and helpless. it gives me a substantial flow of adrenaline knowing that there is nothing that i can do, no matter what my One wishes to do to me. The enery flowing through my body gains great strength with the unknown, and can be redirected...changed...into beneficial energy which i can manipulate into magickal workings.

When my One adds the blindfold after i am bound, it adds to the energy that is already surging through my body. Not being able to see what my One is about to do as well as not being able to move makes me search out for Her with my mind and see Her moving, hear Her moving, smell and taste the energy surrounding Her and what She might have in Her hands, or in Her mind, to use on me.

Sensory deprivation such as blindfolds, gags, ear plugs, handcuffs, clamping the nose and so on [but NOT all at once!!!], enables the submissive to erradicate the use of any physical perception, but it also distances the submissive from his/her Dom/me and they start to feel alone. Using the mind to focus on what is around them, enables the submissive to further detach the physical body from his/her mind. This helps the submissive in obtaining the state of mind in which he/she needs to empower and strengthen their One's spells to help make them stronger.

Giving your One the gift of your bondage makes the submissive feel complete joy in the fact that he/she has been given the opportunity to please their One and that the trust that they hold for their Master/Mistress is true, for as much as Yyou trust Ssomeone there is no 100% guarantee. With my One i look into Her eyes and i see no reason to doubt my trust in Her, She loves me with all Her heart and i know that She would never mistreat me under any situation.

The adrenaline created during bondage is sufficient to power the state of New York for a weekend. *l* It can, with practice, be transformed into the strongest sexual energies i have ever felt. That, blended with pain, and love, and the strong desire (the purpose of the spell) on which i concentrate when under the gnosis of these stimuli, ensure Oour spellwork will always be right on track.

It gives me a strong sense of accomplishment when i hear Her words..."And it is done, My one." *big big smile*

There are many reasons/occasions wherein the Dom/me [hereafter referred to as "D"] may bring the bondage card into play. Bondage is utilized by the commonplace D as a means of generating suspense and eliciting sexual excitement from the submissive [hereafter referred to as "the sub."] These are the more mundane uses of Bondage and the dynamics it engenders.

A Magickal D will use Bondage as a tool for self discovery, teaching one to meditate properly, assisting the sub to acquire patience, personal humility, or any of a plethora of other inter-personal traits and/or lessons.

Bondage in the Bedroom

Bondage is NOT a game. Serious injury beyond the scope of the D's ability to administer medical attention, etc. can occur if careful guidelines are not an integral part of the plan. Be CERTAIN that the C&B harness you affix, the leather you wrap, or the tape you use will NOT cause permenant damage you do not intend! Make sure the hood you use can not result in unadministered and/or unattended strangulation, etc. The sub's life is in the D's hands, quite literally, in times of bondage, whether extreme or not.

Bondage can be a beautiful thing. It assists the sub in realizing their inner dreams, goals, fears, and self; not to mention the wonderful things the D can do to the sub while the sub is bound...Anything S/He wishes. Bondage increases durability and stamina, as well as heightening other senses when properly employed. Blindfolding is an aspect of Bondage, and will greatly enhance the other stimuli employed by the D upon the sub.

There are many forms of Bondage in the world, from a simple binding of the hands and feet to a much more complicated form of Bondage known as "shibari." [Pictured to the right.] There is suspension Bondage, genital Bondage [also known as "cock and ball torture" (see "Pain")], and a more simple tying of the submissive to a strong chair in such a way as to prevent movement. You can tie the sub to a board, a coffee table, a head board/foot board set, or even to itself such as tying the feet to the back of the head of/or shoulder blades. Pain is usually an aspect of Bondage, whereby the sub has the opportunity to rise above the waves to gain a greater sense of self. This is an exercise in endurance and mental control over the physical.

Throughout, the D is responsible for the safety and the sanity of the sub. A dialog should be well established and ongoing throughout portions of the Bondage experience, whereby the D may determine the mental and emotional state of the sub. Mmany do not agree that the sub's safety is an important factor in the D/s equation; however, anything less constitutes a legal and moral liability on the part of the Dominant. To "play" with a sub for whom the D has no feelings, no sense of safety, no restraint, can result in the death of the sub. Bondage, D/s, and BDSM are NOT games to be played with those whom Yyou do not trust!

It is unfortunate that it is necessary to even say that, but it IS necessary.
